The focus of this paper is on the implications of income uncertainty for the optimal labor supply. The meaningful distinction between Knightian uncertainty, which is often attributed to Frank Knight (1921), and risk is allowed. Agents are both uncertainty averse and risk averse. The labor-leisure and the labor-leisure-saving choices are studied under Knightian uncertainty in one-period and two-...

Most of the shrimp producing countries particularly in South-east Asia have been affected due to the lockdown, quarantine roles and regulations ordered by the countries, which was assigned to reduce and control the COVID-19 pandemic spreading in the globe....

This paper considers a dyadic supply chain with uncertain supplier. Both retailer and supplier use continuous review policy. The supplier is randomly available for supplying the retailer. The retailer faces Poisson demands. In this system, lead time is a random variable consists of a constant transportation time plus a random delay occurs due to availability of stock at the supplier. This paper...

From the earliest studies examining impacts of coal-powered Industrial Revolution, field sociology has possessed an intimate, if often implicit, interest in interconnectedness fossil fuels and modernity.

Supplying of blood and blood products is one of the most challenging issues in the healthcare system since blood is as extremely perishable and vital good and donation of blood is a voluntary work. In this paper, we propose a two-stage stochastic selective-covering-inventory-routing (SCIR) model to supply whole blood under uncertainty. Here, set of discrete scenarios are used to display uncerta...
